Bacon Jam Scallops are a play on classic bacon wrapped scallops, only using sweet and salty bacon jam with scallions and flaky puff pastry!

Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Sheets are one items I always have on hand. While this might sound odd to some, for me Puff Pastry is an easy way to make any ingredient into a wow-worthy appetizer or entree. They quickly defrost, are verstile and are light and flakey.

This golden flakiness is what makes Puff Pastry the perfect base for my Bacon Jam Scallops. I have to give credit where credit is due and this recipe was the development of hubby.

Along with many, his personal credo is that “bacon makes everything better,” he suggested a play on the classic scallop appetizer bacon wrapped scallops.

Instead of wrapping each scallop in a hefty piece of bacon, a dish that quickly becomes pricy, he suggested using my award winning Bacon Jam. This man is a genius!

We always have lots of friends and family coming through the house, and even more so now that our daughter was born.

Even if you don’t feel like making your own Bacon Jam, you can buy it at most grocers. It also makes for excellent gifts during the holiday season.

I like having a few small bites on hand that I can easily whip up. Bacon Jam Scallops become one of those go-to recipes for entertaining.
